Deserters  and  Slackers 
What  is  the  Government  doing  with 
the  slackers?  A  young  man  went  off  to 
work  to  make  a  little  money  for  his 
mother.  He  was  called  and  could  not  get 
back  for  that  day.  He  is  afraid,  and  has 
to  stay  away  from  home.  His  mother 
needs  him  badly.  mbs.  F.  h. 
Virginia. 
We  have  had  many  letters  like  the 
above.  They  refer  to  slackers  or  deserters. 
It  appears  that  quite  a  number  of  young 
men  who  were  called  by  the  Government 
during  the  war  failed  to  respond  and 
never  entered  the  service.  They  and  their 
relatives  are  now  anxious  to  know  what 
is  to  be  done  about  it.  One  of  our  people 
sends  us  a  clipping  giving  what  purports 
to  be  a  decision  by  Judge  Westenhaver, 
which  is  to  the  effect  that  these  slackers 
or  deserters  who  were  not  called  into 
the  court  before  a  certain  date  are  now 
immune,  and  will  not’  be  arrested.  We 
sent  to  the  War  Department  in  order  to 
make  sure  about  this  matter,  and  the 
Adjutant  General  has  given  us  the  facts. 
He  says  that  Judge  Westenhaver’s  de¬ 
cision  is  understood  by  the  department 
to  apply  only  to  draft  delinquents  or  to 
men  who  failed  to  register,  as  required 
by  proclamation.  Under  this  decision 
the  men  who  are  charged  with  desertion 
are  not  affected  legally.  The  Attorney- 
General  at  Washington  has  charge  of  the 
prosecutions  for  slackers.  The  Adjutant- 
General  says  that  the  men  who  fail  to 
report  for  military  duty  in  accordance 
to  orders  are  still  liable  to  trial  by  court- 
martial,  and  the  War  Department  is  still 
continuing  its  efforts  to  adjudicate  cases 
of  such  men.  It  appears  from  this,  there¬ 
fore,  that  the  slackers  are  not  yet  entirely 
free.  We  understand  that  they  are  still 
subject  to  court-martial,  and  that  desert¬ 
ers  may  be  tried  for  their  serious  offense. 
Speed  Up  the  Speeders 
The  other  day  in  a  New  York  court 
a  man  was  haled  before  a  judge  for  driv¬ 
ing  his  car  above  the  legal  rate  of  speed. 
He  was  convicted,  much  to  his  chagrin, 
and  the  judge  fined  him  $5.  The  man 
was  very  indignant,  and  to  show  his  anger 
he  pulled  $3  in  bills  and  $2  in  change 
out  of  his  pocket  and  threw  it  at  the 
clerk  of  the  court,  thus  expressing  his 
feelings  as  well  as  he  could.  The  judge 
saw  this  action  and  did  not  like  it ;  he 
called  the  man  back  and  told  him  that  his 
display  of  anger  would  cost  him  just  $20, 
and  he  raised  the  fine  to  $25  promptly. 
The  man  had  already  given  all  he  had 
with  the  exception  of  25c,  so  he  was  sent 
to  jail  until  he  could  raise  the  money 
to  pay  the  fine.  It  cost  him  just  $20  to 
have  the  fun  of  giving  evidence  to  his 
anger.  It  pays  to  keep  cool  when  you 
are  under  fire. 
Another  case  happened  where  a  young 
woman  of  19  years  was  brought  into  court 
on  a  charge  of  fast  driving ;  it  was  a 
clear  case  where  the  girl  had  no  business 
to  put  on  speed.  The  judge  said : 
“Twenty-five  dollars  fine  or  go  to  jail.” 
The  young  woman  concluded,  as  she  had 
never  had  experience  in  jail  work,  and 
having  something  of  an  inquiring  mind, 
to  refuse  to  pay  the  fine.  Her  father  was 
ready  to  pay  it  for  her,  but  she  said  she 
preferred  to  go  to  jail,  and  her  father 
left  her.  The  jailer  took  her  behind  the 
bars  and  told  her  there  was  plenty  of 
work  to  be  done  there,  such  as  scrubbing 
floors  and  washing  towels.  A  view  of 
several  women  engaged  in  this  sort  of 
work  caused  this  young  woman  to  change 
her  mind,  and  she  offered  to  pay  the  fine, 
when  she  found  that  she  had  but  $5  in 
her  pocket,  and  her  father  had  gone  home. 
They  finally  compromised;  let  her  pay 
the  money  she  had  under  a  strict  guaran¬ 
tee  to  pay  the  remainder  promptly,  and 
she  went  home. 
We  should  like  to  see  every  person 
guilty  of  illegal  speeding  compelled  to 
work  at  least  two  weeks  at  hard  labor. 
V  e  should  deny  them  the  privilege  of 
bringing  in  luxuries  and  special  food; 
they  should  be  compelled  to  eat  prison 
fare  and  do  manual  labor.  As  a  rule 
the  fine  imposed  upon  such  people  Ts  no 
punishment  at  all,  but  is  usually  regarded 
as  a  joke.  It  should  be  made  a  very  seri¬ 
ous  affair  by  obliging  culprits  to  work 
and  live  on  common  fare  as  a  result  of 
their  dangerous  folly. 
“Prisoner,  have  you  anvthing  to  offer 
m  your  own  behalf?”  “No,  your  honor: 
I  ve  turned  over  every  cent  I  own  to  my 
lawyer  and  a  couple  of  jurvmen.” —
